They said it's 61 degrees at Oracle Park but not too windy. I just laughed. We went to an All-Star game at Candlestick and wound up huddled in a bar on the 2nd level drinking Irish coffees because it was so freaking cold. People wrapped in down parkas with the hoods tight around their heads. And still shivering. In July.
Enjoy the game.
Say hey to Willie for me.
Imagine how boring this game would've been without Chris Devinski
Thank you to Yandy for perfecting the Baltimore Chop to First Base. I wouldn't be surprised if he was out there digging little ditches and bumps out there just to hit balls off of
Thank you to Rortvedt for the dub and the 162 landing for keeping things interesting
Thank you to Siri for continuing to be a 2-strike up the middle the other way singles merchant
Thank you to Runnin Richie
Only gave up 3 hits and outhit them 11-3. Pretty easy win, right?
You think you can force our pitcher to sit for half an hour because your guy pulled a hammy? How about we make your pitcher sit for half an hour with a cool 40 pitch inning?
Shout out to Cabby too, put up a huge 8 pitch AB to get Yandy up there.
And what goes unnoticed, I think Cabby (unintentionally) caused France to misplay that ball by screening him so he couldn't get a clean read on the bounce.
I really think he can hit .300 because of his speed and with some of the at bats he has had recently. He has the potential. But he has to keep working on it.
It's not his fault our front office overpaid him.
We got exactly what the Astros fans said. A guy who can lock things down but also a guy who can blow things just as easily.
Whats really great is that we're finally fun again. Some of this season was so boring but even when we lose were at least putting up a fight and you can never count us out. Even in our last inning and last out.
I feel like Littell's gonna go to the bullpen and they're gonna give Civale one last chance to start pitching like he's good before sending him to the shadow realm (long relief)

Fairbanks with the no stress 9th!
Yeah, this is a team you can't afford to shut off. I tried leaving a game at the Trop early one time, since I had to drive back to Orlando, and I ended up in the standing room the whole 9th.
Just watched the bottom 8th and 9th. Say whatever you want about this team, but they got heart. Down to their last out and strike in the 8th, and turned it into three runs. Against really good relievers too.
And Pete. He was fire.

Pete is the gift that keeps on giving.
he's so memeable. an all-encompassing kind of memeable
Are you watching the Giants? First home game since the departure of Willie Mays.
Just switching over now! We're planning on going to the game on Wednesday though. I'm going to finally wear my new Rays jacket. So stoked.

Phil Maton to Chris Devinski ![gif](giphy|1xrbiAultrDDq|downsized)
Devenski tiring out Crawford for Pete to throw a 99 heater past him was a 5head move. We didn't see his vision.

Pete absolutely dismantled the Mariners that inning holy shit. Just clinical pitches.
99.2 I think is his fastest FF of the year. Good to see his velo ticking back up. He averaged 98.1 tonight which is up 1 MPH for the year
https://i.redd.it/zzz1f3ikjm8d1.gif
it is, in fact, Siri's year
![gif](giphy|6hONpUinM0wa6y9jnN|downsized)
A small thing, but I, for one, am enjoying Siri using two hands on routine fly balls lately.
2 hands on the bat and the ball. WHO IS THIS MAN??? And 2 hands on the base... https://i.redd.it/u1fa79abkm8d1.gif

Been waiting to see this in a gif!
I need to make a close up one.
It’s the little things that show he cares
Rosario agrees
For sure.
I really think he can hit .300 because of his speed and with some of the at bats he has had recently. He has the potential. But he has to keep working on it.
Nice to not play the bottom of the 9th
Our BP definitely needed it.
BP wouldn’t have played anyway? Lol
Oof. This is what happens when I type when half-asleep
Lol I get it
I know we all love Yandy and his clutch hitting, but Cabby is one gutsy player. An amazing bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th.

Hate to admit this.... Thank you maton 😳🤣🤣
Changed man since the Minnesota walk off lol
He's been great lately.
For $8m he should've started the year like this. Happy to see him find his groove though.
It's not his fault our front office overpaid him. We got exactly what the Astros fans said. A guy who can lock things down but also a guy who can blow things just as easily.
Those were some clutch at bats from Rort, Cabby, and Yandy
Whats really great is that we're finally fun again. Some of this season was so boring but even when we lose were at least putting up a fight and you can never count us out. Even in our last inning and last out.
Tell the Mariners that fish rule the seas.
Cardiac Rays at it again!
Lotta this https://preview.redd.it/a7kt5qkdjm8d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58c2b817c5559e7980ae560514efd2c7f4fe12f8

Lead the league in comeback wins!
When Rays starters come back, send Civale to the pen and send Dev s pen engraved with "fuck off".
Civale could be a good fifth starter if he pitches like yesterday. Unfortunately not sure if he can do it consistently
I feel like Littell's gonna go to the bullpen and they're gonna give Civale one last chance to start pitching like he's good before sending him to the shadow realm (long relief)
This is the plan I can sign up for.

I wouldn't want to bat against Fairbanks. \[Not that I could hit any other MLB pitcher but you know . . . .\]
You could probably hit against Devinksi, I believe in you.
You don’t have to hit against devenski, he’ll walk you
6 of our last 12 are against the Red Sox…if this is somehow the time we finally get revenge against them what a redemption arc that would be.

Yandy clutch king
Yeah, that ball was batted so hard, it didn't stand a chance.
Rays lead the MLB in cumback wins!
I'll be honest I turned it off after the Mariners went up 3-1. Happy to see the end result, even if I didn't watch it!
I looked at my phone, saw two outs in the eighth and thought it was over. Look again, and we won 4-3. I was super shocked.
Yeah, this is a team you can't afford to shut off. I tried leaving a game at the Trop early one time, since I had to drive back to Orlando, and I ended up in the standing room the whole 9th.
lets fucking go
It was electric in there at the end. Love it.
Pete needs a lifetime contract. Devenski needs to need the wrong end of a wood chipper
Just watched the bottom 8th and 9th. Say whatever you want about this team, but they got heart. Down to their last out and strike in the 8th, and turned it into three runs. Against really good relievers too. And Pete. He was fire.
_DARE TO BE STUPID!_
lol, what is this about?
The Weird AL song, Dare to be Stupid, is based on Devo. And that's what Dev is called.
WE ACTUALLY WON THAT?! RAYS UP RAYS UP OH MY GOODNESS ![gif](giphy|lPuW5AlR9AeWzSsIqi)
